Dark Shadows Page #3

Synopsis: In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth C

- He's asleep I'm afraid

- During the day?

- How odd

- What was that infernal banging

- Barnabas, we have a guests

- My apologies Madam

I have just risen

- You mustn't be frightened, Miss..

- Hello Barnabas

My name is Angie Bouchard

So it is

You know what I would

very much like to do with you?

I can only imagine

I would really much like a word

in the drawing room

With your permission Elizabeth

Would you excuse us?

How dared you defy

my manner with obnoxious

Its really you

How dared you place

your wicked lips upon me

I remember this place

being less depressing

And also remember the

tools having a lot of fun

here

and

here

Have you any idea

what you put me through?

You killed all my lover and curse

to be this hideous creature

Barnabas get over it

I lived in a box for 200 years

Don't exaggerate its only a 196

It was an eternity

I should have you trial for

witchcraft and burn to the steak

Poor sweet Barnabas

Thing have changed while

you were taking your nap

My Angel Bay is Collins Port now

So are the one who sent the

Collins family business into the abyss

They love me here

I'm the only big fish left in the pond

Is that so?

only the good people of Collins Port knows

that their beloved Angie

is a whore of Beelzebub

Do you really think anyone

would believe a word you said?

having enough standing member

of this community for 200 years

in one port to another

Your name may have

changed but you remained

a Satan

a devil hooker

The people of Collins Port

admires worshipers now

and to them you just a stranger

whose afraid of the sun

Welcome back to the shadow

Barnabas Collins

I miss you

Angel Bay

the only dusty name summons vomits

I always knew there were something

off about Angie, but a witch?

Indeed

A witch with an

impenetrable hatred of me

Hate? No, if she merely hated you,

she would've killed you

A curse takes devotion

Why must I alone

bear the rotten fruit

on our cursed family tree?

My parents were taken

Only true love

taken

and what did you do?

I attempt to throw myself off a cliff

tragically I did

and then

I became a vampire

Started to kill innocent Towns people

Yes

but you also kept the family afloat

and try to keep the

manner from falling apart

Yes

- Yes, I did didn't I?

- You fought on Barnabas

In your own crazy and

miserable way, you fought on

until they had to drag you

away and lock you in an iron box

- to keep you from fighting

- My god, you're right

You fought on because

it's in you blood,

In our blood Madam

and now you had

the chance to fight again

and fight I shall

What sorcery this?

Reveal yourself tiny songstist

if you want fishermen

you got to get Silas Client first

he knew every captain from

Bar Harbor to Boston

They call him the godfather

of the Grand Banks

Captain Clarena

Captain Clarena I like you

to meet Barnabas Collins

Collins?

and why does Collins

want to talk to me?

- To offer you a contract

- I have a contract

with Angel Bay

and if I told you I could

offer you a better one

Then Mr Collins I would tell you

to take a long walk of a short tear

There are such a thing as

loyalty in our line of work

I see

Mr Clarena

You have grown rather

weary working for Angel Bay

In fact you would rather

sell your soul to Satan

then sell more fish for

Angel Bouchard, do you understand?

- I understand

- Very Good

Now

Would you be so kind as to introduce

me to some of your fellow captains

Barnabas, why are you

staring into Caroline's room?

What is that thing?

- Its a Lamp

- Look like blood

I think its time I show

you my office, Barnabas

You know what a psychiatrist is?

Regrettably the word is foreign to me

may I assume it's some

species of American delicacy

Its a medical doctor that

specializes in the mind

I'm a psychiatrist

now

- Where were you born?

- Liverpool

- Can you describe it to me?

- It's filthy

The street reeks smells of dirt

smell of urine permits the air

Have you any experience

with hypnosis Barnabas?

- I find it very useful, yes?

- Yes, I agree

You see

sometimes we make up a fantasy world

to help us erase horrible

memories of our pass

I found Hypnotism

cuts through all that

I found it for other purposes

May I hypnotize you, Barnabas?

Madam

I do not believe

thats remotely possible

Good

now

I like you to tell me a few things

- A vampire?

- Keep your voice down

What on earth are you talking about?

Oh spare me, I had him

under hypnosis for hours

Barnabas?

There is a point where all illusions

fails but he's been bodge

He told me everything

Including the fact that you known

his secret since he arrived

Why the hell didn't

you say anything?

I was protecting the children

By hiding a vampire in

one of the guest bedroom?

Do you know he admitted killing the

men at a construction site,

he's a murderer

He's a Collins and a good man and

these days, that's a

desperately rare combination

Oh yes, I almost forgot,

the family that can do no wrong

You know Julia I'm surprised at you

I think a physician like you

would find him fascinating

Well sure, medically, psychologically

physically he's fascinating

Which is exactly why I came to

you instead of the police

If fascinated Julia

if you have an atom love

and respect for this family

keep your mouth shut

I'm don't feel comfortable

discussing this with you

Do not fear my child

I simply seeking advice

only according the

woman of this time

and whom better choose

than a woman of your age

What is your age, if I may?

- Fifteen

- 15 and no husband?

You must put those bosom

hips to use at once

unless your womanhood

will swollen up and die

you're weird

What do you think me too

weird of a woman of this blunt

You obviously mean Vicky

She has the most fertile

bosom hips I ever laid eyes upon

- You're way too weird

- Do you really think so?

You're stiff, proper, old fashion

and Victoria?

Is she not proper?

She like to pretend

she's rock and roll,

she's a carpenters

fan chick for sure

Are you mean saying she's

has a thing for wood workers?

The Carpenters are musician stupid

Ah music

I am rather the fond of

the music of the day

I am a picker I'm a beginner

I'm a lover

and I am a sinner

I play my music in the sun

Only a Shakespeare as I could

Okay

If you want to get with her, you

have to change your approach

Drop the whole weird sweet London thing

hangout with a few normal people

Do you know what good

about this war man?

to win?

No, listen up, what

good about this war

Is that its so bad its

going to be the last war

- Yeah

- Yeah

and this last war

When?

Peace will made out

Peace wins every war

- Every war

-Yeah

You speak of peace

I have spent the last two

centuries locked in a box

staring in the all consuming void

the dark shadows of ones hopes

Thats hate man

- Wow, locked for 2 centuries?

- Indeed

But with great purpose let me thinks

for I believe that I have

found my one true love
